Ready-made borders
Light And Airy Plants ( Diaphanous Border )
Introduce a sense of space and depth by using plants that act as an intriguing veil to other parts of the garden, while adding height and interest in their own right. This late-flowering combination will add shape and form just as the main herbaceous displays are starting to wane. Pale spires of verbascum punch through the early summer clouds of anthruscus flowers, followed by delightful claret-tinted allium drumsticks with towering spikes of mauve veronicastrum and deep crimson thistles following-on during late summer. Swaying red-tipped leaves of the ornamental grass combine beautifully with the intricately divided purple foliage of the anthriscus that provides interest throughout the growing season.
Planting tip: Improve the water retention of light soils and the drainage of heavy soils by incorporating plenty of well-rotted organic matter before planting. Use natural twiggy prunings to provide support for tall perennials in exposed borders for the most natural-looking display. This design will fit into a border 3m long by 1.5m wide
